Probiotics Helping Chrons Disease

An estimated 500,000 Americans have Crohn’s disease, an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes chronic inflammation of the intestinal tract. Like ulcerative colitis, another common IBD, Crohn’s disease can be both painful and debilitating and sometimes may lead to life-threatening complications. There’s no known medical cure for Crohn’s disease. However, therapies are available that may greatly reduce the signs and symptoms of Crohn’s disease and even bring about a long-term remission.
